From the heart of the Pastor, Sister Samantha, the rest of the Harris family and the Staff, blessings to you the New Berean. Thank you for everything, every one of you of Team Berea for blessing our new Pastor, his family, our guests and the New Berean Berean family. We believe the Lord is pleased with the completion of the installation process. God has given us a pastor after his own heart (Jer. 3:15) and we have one in “Pastor Tony”. Now we are poised and ready to begin following our Pastor’s god-ordained vision of The BereanWay. Through our faithful obedience to the Lord, his word and the leadership of his under-shepherd, we can serve and reach out to our community, City and beyond and our light will so shine that many will see our good works, our Father will be glorified.

Trunk-O-Treat – Why?

Our world has taken just about every aspect and element of our society and corrupted for their own purposes. For us here at New Berean, Hallelujah Night is an opportunity to provide our local community with a safe fun, family environment with an added opportunity “welcome and evangelize all who come”. We have not been called to evangelize the saved but the lost (Luke 19:10). We are taking the approach that the majority of people we come in contact with are in need of the Savior and we are taking this moment in time to share with them Christ, through fun, games and treats.

We do not “celebrate” Halloween or Hallelujah Night. We celebrate the privilege to serve the Lord by reaching up to Him for guidance, wisdom and direction to reach out to those in need. As Christ has sent us into the world on a mission, we will go.

To God be the glory for the great things he has done! Click on the image to capture the moment of God’s grace and favor.

The month of October is Pastor/Clergy Appreciation month, and it is our time to call out and let the people who have labored in the work of the know, their work is not in vain. Use the link (Ministry Appreciation Form) to share with us the person who has been an encouragement to you in your walk with the Lord.

Being able to give to others in the work of the Lord requires us to be a whole as we need to be. Today’s Mental Health Matters Workshop was a blessing to those in attendance by providing us tools and information to help us be the people God wants us to be and how we can be a blessing of encouragement to others.

The Gospel is God’s reset button for the world against sin, death and hell.

Have you ever wanted to win souls, be a missionary or just be able to share the gospel message in confidence? We all do. Pastor Tony is beginning a new training series to help us be the missionaries that God wants of us using the “Life On Mission” platform. We can discover how to share the gospel with anyone using simple tools, like 3 Circles to make the most out of every opportunity presented to us.

God has a simple design and order in which he has laid out in his word. His design is for all creation to be a pure and perfect reflection of his glory and wisdom. But as a direct result of the sin committed by the first two humans, all mankind is now in a state of brokenness. This brokenness is expressed in the various forms of unhealthy relationships, mis use of alcohol and drugs. To redeem mankind from his final and eternal judgement God has provide the good news of his plan through the person (I Cor. 15:1-9) of his dear son, Jesus. Let’s all get educated and equipped with these tools as we enter into service ministry of the gospel of God which, by the way is the only plan to achieve God’s plan of redemption.

Join Pastor Tony on Tuesday night at 7:00 pm to gather the tools that will “Educate and Equip” us The BereanWay for ministry in God’s divine plan to reach people for the cause of Christ.

Highlights from the weekend – The BereanWay

• Community Giveaway – We’d like to thank you for your prayers, encouragement and gifts giving to share with our community this weekend (The CrossWalk Youth Ministry). We met a number of new souls, led one to the Lord and welcomed all to come back. We are The BereanWay, “Believing God for the Impossible” by making ourselves available and allowing the Lord to use us to serve whoever we can and however we can.
• Baby Dedication – we also celebrated and honored the founder and former pastor Leroy E. Ricks, Sr. with dedication of his grandson. Pastor-elect Harris perform the dedication service as attend by a host of family and friends. Pastor Harris also dedicated a marker for the time capsule, buried at the foot of the cross (The Ricks Family).

Let us continue to be about our Father’s business and make ourselves available for the work, the service and the teaching of our Lord at our Church, New Berean
